Effect of Consuming a Nutraceutical Composition Based on Pineapple and Natural Extracts on Signs and Symptoms in Adult Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by the presence of chronic, recurrent abdominal pain, alterations in bowel habits, and abdominal distension. The medical diagnosis is made using the Rome IV criteria. There are three IBS phenotypes: diarrhea-predominant, constipation-predominant, and mixed.

Study Overview

A sample of 100 people will be supplemented, with 50 participants consuming the nutraceutical gel and the remaining 50 receiving a placebo supplement. The supplementation period lasts 14 days, during which severity questionnaires and the Bristol Stool Scale will be administered on Day 0, Day 7, and Day 14. Additionally, to assess biomarkers, biochemical tests for PCR, calprotectin, and fecal lactoferrin will be conducted.
